Destiny Plan

"Destiny Plan combines the culmination of Coordinator research in genetic engineering. It is the ultimate human salvation system, implemented under the highest level of technological infrastructure currently available."

As soon as Chairman Durandal finished speaking, the broadcast switched to an explanatory demonstration of genetic technology.

Shin and Ray watched the broadcast together in their dormitory, still unsure what it was all about.

The narration was delivered by a woman in a flat tone.

"We must clearly understand that all of a person's qualities—personality, intelligence, talents, even whether they possess the causes of serious illnesses—are innate."

Yes, the genes humans inherited from their parents contained all sorts of information.

Scientists had completely decoded DNA sequences. They knew which specific genes could make people run faster, which could cause heart abnormalities, and which could eliminate disease symptoms, strengthen the body's resistance, or bring out various abilities.

Coordinators had been born through the use of this technology.

"Right now, perhaps you feel your talents have gone unrecognized. You may have hidden potential waiting to be developed—potential even you yourself have yet to notice."

Genes determined the personalities and abilities humans were born with. Some people were good singers, while others had an aptitude for numbers.

But even with talent, one needed an environment in which to use it and proper education. Otherwise, talent could easily be buried.

The same was true of Coordinators.

If a Coordinator with musical genes never encountered music throughout his life, then he too would be tone-deaf, completely unaware of it for the rest of his life.

"For all humanity, that is an enormous loss."

In other words, Durandal's plan was to use genetic analysis to understand people's characteristics and reassign them accordingly, ensuring everyone was placed where they suited best. If implemented in the current world, it would
